UPDATE: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott repealed the enhanced inspection measure on Friday evening after signing a security agreement with the governor of the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. The original story follows:
Last week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced a series of measures intended to fortify his state's border with Mexico and target undocumented immigrants crossing into the United States. In addition to the more performative stunts Abbott is implementing, the Republican governor is directing the Texas Department of Public Safety "to conduct enhanced safety inspections of vehicles as they cross international ports of entry into Texas," citing drug smuggling and migrant trafficking.
